Just got off the phone with two of the techs and one of the surgeons. Cookie had a good night and has quite a fan club of folks who've decided she is not only cute but the sweetest thing in the world. I agreed whole-heartedly with this of course. The surgeon said she is brighter than she was yesterday and seems to have recovered from the initial impact of it all, is carefully moving about her cage from time to time and wagging her tail and watching everything, went out to potty, and is fast becoming best friends with everyone she meets. Thank goodness for a sound and adaptable mind.

Her surgery is scheduled for roughly two hours from now and should take 1.5-2 hours. I will get a call afterward, probably not until she's woken up but possibly before.

So we are back in "no news is good news" mode until mid-afternoon. Vibes.
